<title>DVB Frontend properties</title>
<para>Tuning into a Digital TV physical channel and starting decoding it
requires changing a set of parameters, in order to control the
tuner, the demodulator, the Linear Low-noise Amplifier (LNA) and to set the
antenna subsystem via Satellite Equipment Control (SEC), on satellite
systems. The actual parameters are specific to each particular digital
TV standards, and may change as the digital TV specs evolves.</para>
<para>In the past, the strategy used was to have a union with the parameters
needed to tune for DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T and ATSC delivery systems grouped
there. The problem is that, as the second generation standards appeared,
those structs were not big enough to contain the additional parameters.
Also, the union didn't have any space left to be expanded without breaking
userspace. So, the decision was to deprecate the legacy union/struct based
approach, in favor of a properties set approach.</para>
<para>NOTE: on Linux DVB API version 3, setting a frontend were done via
<link linkend="dvb-frontend-parameters">struct <constant>dvb_frontend_parameters</constant></link>.
This got replaced on version 5 (also called "S2API", as this API were
added originally_enabled to provide support for DVB-S2), because the old
API has a very limited support to new standards and new hardware. This
section describes the new and recommended way to set the frontend, with
suppports all digital TV delivery systems.</para>
<para>Example: with the properties based approach, in order to set the tuner
to a DVB-C channel at 651 kHz, modulated with 256-QAM, FEC 3/4 and symbol
rate of 5.217 Mbauds, those properties should be sent to

and provides methods for usual operations like program scanning and to
read/write channel descriptor files.</para>

set of connected ISDB-Tsb channels. In this set of channels every
channel can be received independently. The number of connected
ISDB-Tsb segment can vary, e.g. depending on the frequency spectrum
bandwidth available.</para>
<para>Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the
air: Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8
segments from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.</para>
<para>The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is
consisting of several subchannels with a predefined IDs. A sub-channel
is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel.</para>

<para>ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically. As opposed to DVB-T in
ISDB-T hierarchical layers can be decoded simultaneously. For that
reason a ISDB-T demodulator has 3 Viterbi and 3 Reed-Solomon decoders.</para>
<para>ISDB-T has 3 hierarchical layers which each can use a part of the
available segments. The total number of segments over all layers has
to 13 in ISDB-T.</para>
<para>There are 3 parameter sets, for Layers A, B and C.</para>
<section id="DTV-ISDBT-LAYER-ENABLED">
<title><constant>DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED</constant></title>
<para>Hierarchical reception in ISDB-T is achieved by enabling or disabling
layers in the decoding process. Setting all bits of
<constant>DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED</constant> to '1' forces all layers (if applicable) to be
demodulated. This is the default.</para>
<para>If the channel is in the partial reception mode
(<constant>DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION</constant> = 1) the central segment can be decoded
independently of the other 12 segments. In that mode layer A has to

FE_GET_INFO was used to determine a frontend type. A frontend which

<title>Frontend statistics indicators</title>
<para>The values are returned via <constant>dtv_property.stat</constant>.
If the property is supported, <constant>dtv_property.stat.len</constant> is bigger than zero.</para>
<para>For most delivery systems, <constant>dtv_property.stat.len</constant>
will be 1 if the stats is supported, and the properties will
return a single value for each parameter.</para>
<para>It should be noted, however, that new OFDM delivery systems
like ISDB can use different modulation types for each group of
carriers. On such standards, up to 3 groups of statistics can be
provided, and <constant>dtv_property.stat.len</constant> is updated
to reflect the "global" metrics, plus one metric per each carrier
group (called "layer" on ISDB).</para>
<para>So, in order to be consistent with other delivery systems, the first
value at <link linkend="dtv-stats"><constant>dtv_property.stat.dtv_stats</constant></link>
array refers to the global metric. The other elements of the array
represent each layer, starting from layer A(index 1),
layer B (index 2) and so on.</para>
<para>The number of filled elements are stored at <constant>dtv_property.stat.len</constant>.</para>
<para>Each element of the <constant>dtv_property.stat.dtv_stats</constant> array consists on two elements:</para>

<para>This ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb API extension should reflect all information
needed to tune any ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb hardware. Of course it is possible
that some very sophisticated devices won't need certain parameters to
tune.</para>
<para>The information given here should help application writers to know how
to handle ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb hardware using the Linux DVB-API.</para>
<para>The details given here about ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb are just enough to
basically show the dependencies between the needed parameter values,
but surely some information is left out. For more detailed information
see the following documents:</para>
<para>ARIB STD-B31 - "Transmission System for Digital Terrestrial
Television Broadcasting" and</para>
<para>ARIB TR-B14 - "Operational Guidelines for Digital Terrestrial
Television Broadcasting".</para>
<para>In order to understand the ISDB specific parameters,
one has to have some knowledge the channel structure in
ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has to be known to
the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13 segments,
that it can have up to 3 layer sharing those segments,
and things like that.</para>
